Problem 1: The baseball player A hits the baseball at VA = 40 ft/s and 0A = 60° from the horizontal. When the ball is directly overhead of player B he begins to run under it. Determine the constant speed at which B must run and the distance d in order to make the catch at the same elevation at which the ball was hit. VA = 40 ft/s 15 ft B d C
